The Low Bones will take listeners down the backroads of America with a free musical performance tonight from 7-9:30 p.m. at McMenamins Grand Lodge. Following the music, the wannabe rockstar comedy "School of Rock" will screen for free on the campus lawn.

Perhaps the biggest event news of the day, though, is the opening of the Washington County Fair. Head to the Washington County Fairgrounds for four days of rides, musical performances, food, agriculture and community. The fair runs from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 24-27. Admission is free, but parking costs $5 for every car or $10 for busses and oversized vehicles. Some featured shows, including Friday's Motorsports Mania and Sunday's Mexican Rodeo, will have an additional admission charge.
